First time here, I was a little hesitate because I've never had OB before but by recommendation from a colleague I came for dinner and really enjoyed myself. The food and service was excellent! Our waiter Jonathon was very knowable about the menu and gave excellent suggestions. The hostess even gave us recommendations of things to see/do around town. It's close to the university and my hotel. I will definitely come back next time I'm in town.. read more

the steak was seriously TOUGH, they left out part of the order! WORST food I've ever had from them!

Food is good. Portions are large. Get their blooming oNion. Always very tasty. Steaks are good and juicy. Prices are better than most steakhouses. read more

Our go to place when were in Frisco, its the only one we visit. No other Outback measures up to this one.

Horrible! Ordered the coconut shrimp appetizer and only got 7 shrimp instead of the 10 we ordered. No dressing for the salad, no bread, no toppings for baked potatoes. Steak overcooked and tough. Called and the manager asking if I looked in all the bags and then said they are just busy. No excuse. There Take-out is horrible, rarely do they get the orders correct and they don't care. read more

Great food, friendly folks and very carefully keeping safe procedures going. We've done their cursive pick up and now distanced in-person is well organized. Great job Denton Outback Steakhouse! read more

Outback Steakhouse - Great fresh Caesar salad is where I'm starting! - Steakhouses Near Me - Denton, Texas

I went today. Hopefully it's a fluke. I had the fried chicken sandwich that has the blooming onion sauce on it. I was hoping it would be amazing but the chicken was very over salted..I really don't feel great after eating it. For $15 I was hoping to have more edible food than this. The fries were good though.‍ read more

I asked my wife to marry me at Outback on Valentine's Day! The steaks are great! Bloomin' Onions to die for. Shrimp are huge! The bread loaves are so good it's hard to make yourself stop eating them! The deserts are yummy! Great place! read more

I'm sorry to say this but your dish need some improvement. I and my husband came in today on a Sunday evening expecting to have some tasty and juicy steak. We ordered a filet, a sirloin and blooming onion. I'm a fan of blooming onion but their batter was salty and greasy. Both the steak came out dry and too chewy. There's nothing special about the seasonings. The waiting time is longer than other steakhouse that I've been to. Very disappointed. read more

Just tried to eat the worst prime rib ever. I ordered the big one cooked rare. The meat was fine but the gristle on it was incredible. Super thick and tons of it. I had a pile almost bigger than the meat. I had to ask for a second knife to try to cut it. "Thought maybe a little sharper one would help." It still wouldn't. Took the steak home in order to try to get a real knife and cut it off. My good very sharp one did the trick. Who cuts a prime expensive piece of meat and sends it out like that! I've been ripped off is all I can say. Boooo on you guys. :( I'll post a pic. It's the pic with the sliced up the meat on a cutting board. read more

Outback Steakhouse - Steakhouses Near Me - Denton, Texas

My parents came to visit me and we decided to visit Outback since we haven't been in a few years. We waited about an hour before we were seated and when we were seated they ran out of silverware. Overall it seemed like they weren't prepared for the dinner rush. My dad and I ordered our steaks medium-rare and my mom ordered the grilled pork chop. Strangely, the waiter asked us how we wanted the pork chop cooked, and I think he applied our confused "well done" answer to our entire food order, so our steaks were more well done than I've ever had. The pork chop was over-salted as well. Additionally, they were out of prime rib but we were informed 15 minutes after we had already placed the order. The butter also had a weird texture, like it was accidentally frozen and was still thawing. The only highlight was the fried mushroom appetizer. read more

My grandparents came to visit for the day and as they were delayed by storms, instead of doing lunch we decided to choose a restaurant off the highway for dinner so they could get on the road easily afterwards. As my grandfather just had some dental surgery I made sure the choice had options for softer foods. Outback fit the bill being southbound on I35 and offering soups and a variety of sides that were easier to eat. My husband and I have been here quite a few times and usually get okay service. Have never had a problem with the steaks but sometimes the sides are inconsistent like a baked potato coming out cold. We arrived around 6:30pm and saw a full parking lot. I was looking for one spot near the front so my grandparents wouldn't have to walk far in the rain and cold and was relieved to find one by the door for them and one close for us. We walked in and were immediately seated which was surprising with how busy they were. We were seated near the bar and I had a perfect view of the door and though that meant I was exposed to frequent chills I could see they continued to seat people quickly, nice. I expected a large bill, my grandparents rarely come to town and I wanted to celebrate and make sure they were full and content for their late drive. Brandon was our server and very on top of things. He did a great job of checking on our table without interfering with the conversation as it took a long time for the four of us to decide and my grandfather had a difficult time with the print on the menu (they offer a lot of stuff). Brandon brought our drinks quickly and two loaves of their bread and butter. When we finally ordered he asked a lot of questions and answered ours, I think he did a great job. Looking back, the food took quite a while to come out. I didn't notice at the time because we were chatting until Brandon stopped by to say it wouldn't be much longer. This in itself doesn't bother me as it was hopping and a huge dinner rush. My husband and I normally come earlier and don't wait long. My grandmother got the Pork Porterhouse which was so tender! She gave me a bite and it had a lot of flavor. I never think to order pork when I go to a steakhouse, I was actually quite impressed. It was so tender my grandfather was able to have a couple of pieces without pain. Luckily his baked potato was the right temperature and he seemed to like his chicken tortilla soup. My husband got the 22 oz t bone and this thing was a monster. He ordered it well done and the temp was of course off in the middle because the thing was huge. It met his expectations and the cheese fries were good. I wanted a steak with less fat and easier to cut. Brandon suggested the filet with the center cut sirloin as a close second. Since their steaks always seem small to me (just seem that way, I don't carry a scale around to confirm the actual oz portion they are serving) I wanted to go with a larger size to take home left overs. I ordered the center cut sirloin at 11 oz and I only had 2 pieces with fat on them and it was very easy to cut. The cuts of meat here are a little more expensive than at Texas Roadhouse but they also have a lot more side options and seafood options here. I decided I wanted to try all new side items on this visit. On past occasions I have had their baked potato, lobster tail and ranch house mac and cheese. This visit I tried the crab cake which was very good, the loaded mashed potatoes had a great flavor and were the perfect texture and tasted creamy. I had a difficult time deciding on my last side and then Brandon mentioned they had regular mac and cheese. Their specialty mac is good but I just wasn't in the mood for the extras so I ordered that. Brandon was very good about letting us know the additional prices of items we ordered but this was the one thing I didn't understand. Why is the regular mac and cheese an extra $2.50 than the ranch house? That's just weird but I'm going to guess that they have batches of the latter ready to serve and had to make this one fresh or separate, etc. Everything tasted good. The wait was long but not without explanation. The price was high but not a surprise, it was actually less than I had budgeted for the evening. Also, they are very up front about their prices so I don't feel cheated and we were celebrating. $94.69 plus tip for 4 people is reasonable for the menu offerings, my husband got a 22 oz t bone. I enjoyed the evening and thought very highly of our server. This evening was a 4 1/2 star experience. Averaging with our other visits I would say they are about 3 1/2 stars. In making a decision between the 3 or 4 stars I have to look at the food. Sides may be inconsistent at times (though not in our last 3 visits) but the protein is the star and every single time we come here the steaks are cooked well and taste good. Service is always adequate to good and consistency on steak at a steakhouse is kind of the point, right? They've done a good job the last 2 years. read more

Outback Steakhouse - This gray colored sirloin was supposed to be medium rare. The second one came out purple AND the service was poor. Ugh! - Steakhouses Near Me - Denton, Texas

The food was delicious and our server (Victoria) was outstanding she came by often enough to ask how our food was and if we needed refills and was very kind and outgoing. I will definitely be coming back for sure:) read more

My boyfriend and I have been coming to this outback for the 4 years we've lived here together, and the management and wait staff just keep getting better and better. We have never had a bad experience at this establishment and recently celebrated our 4th valentines day together at the bar top. The staff works hard and is willing to do whatever is necessary to make your stay feel welcome (also, incredibly good salesmen lol) Very thankful for this place! Eat here, y'all!! read more

My wife and I went here for dinner for our anniversary. Outback steak house is usually very predictable, and tonight they did an excellent job with the food. But the highlight of the evening was our waitress Haley. Haley remembered our names, addressed us by name and did a great job serving us. She even brought us a dessert free of charge to celebrate our anniversary. If you go to outback in Denton be sure you ask for Haley. It will be one of the best experiences you will have at an Outback Steakhouse. read more

Rough experience here. My wife and I got a $50 gift card to Outback so we decided, "hey its a free meal." We order waters and a blooming onion, they both came out somewhat quickly. Our server, Cody, was great. He was prompt to get us drinks, refills, and our blooming onion. We order our main course, 8oz steak and a burger. After a hour passed, we call over a manger and asked to pay for our blooming onion and that we decided leave. The manger apologized and said he would give us our meal free. I know its not the waiter or mangers job that are food wasn't there, its on the cook. It wasn't a busy night and we weren't the only people complaining. To be honest, I was just done, I have never walked out before and thats exactly what we did. The manger gave us a $20 gift card and gave the blooming onion for free. We tipped our great waiter and left. I believe I'm a pretty nice guy, but it was pretty easy to leave. We now have $70 worth of gift cards... Maybe we'll try a different location? read more

I recently ate dinner with my wife at this location. We were seated and waited on immediately. The only hiccups by the waitress were when she gave us the other's salad and briefly left another table's iced tea at our table when she replenished out bread. Each of those were easily fixed and not a problem for us. It was another story when they brought our steaks. My wife's steak was supposed to be well-done but it was rare in the thickest part of the steak with blood running from where she cut into it. After sending it back, the Proprietor, Kris Johnston, returned with the steak. He apologized for the incident and asked my wife to cut into it the steak and to taste it. When she replied that it was fine he offered to bring another. (It was slightly moist but tough and a little blackened on the outside). When my wife insisted that it was fine and accepted it, Kris said he wanted to hear her say it was fantastic said he would take it off the bill. Everything else was quite good and my ranking is to recognize Kris for being accountable to us. I look forward to our next visit. read more

Don't go an hour and half before the close you won't get your food after an hour. The employees hang out on their phones at the front eating and having a good time while you wait. And the kitchen manager had the nerve to come out and look at us and said you order your food right? Oh your done . We were like no we are still waiting on our food. Now the good we went there the day before had great super service. BEA is the best she was our waitress both nights she's golden kept apologizing for the wait a number of times. And Julie the manager from the first night omg go when she's on duty but ya better hurry she's gonna have a baby soon!!! My biggest complaint no food , long wait and very unprofessional of the kitchen manager. We asked for the check. We were just going to leave. He gave us the food we were waiting on but we still had to pay for the drinks and appetizer which I thought after an hour it should have been completely free. we spent over 150.00 dollars the night before. And it was worth it. So go when Julie works and ask for Bea . read more

I am updating my review from a couple of years ago. What a difference a few years make! This once great tasting restaurant with wonderful service has let itself go. The server was unfortunately too busy to help that many customers and the food was not cooked the way an Outback that we are used to across the country. The steaks were medium rare when we prefer medium well, and the crumbles of blue cheese we like one the side was forgotten. The steak was not up to the Outback standards. We usually order the surf and turf, which is now not part of the menu. One has to order it completely different. Surprise. I am sorry Outback we have taken this restaurant out of our favorite places to celebrate our families holidays. read more

Service was sub-par, waiting about 15min to be greeted. Food was bland and cold...but the blood orange Rita is worth getting for sure. It was our servers first day so I'll cut her some slack however the food from the kitchen was by far my most disappointing meal in Denton. read more

Yuck. This place has been terrible the past several times. I keep wanting it to be awesome, but it sucks. Service is mediocre and reminds me of that movie "waiting" where the kids are all probably playing with their junk and complaining about the customers. It's extremely obvious that they don't care anymore and are surviving purely on the folks who don't know any better. Texas Roadhouse will give you twice the experience, 10 times the food quality, and a smaller check. If you understand good food, stay away from outback. The clock is ticking in this disaster. I wish I had taken a photo of my steak portobello. I was just too embarrassed for them to snap a photo. Looked like two cockroaches laid on a flat turd. read more

I will say i was very happy with the updated decor, but felt that it lacked so much in other areas. Service was excellent and did quite well for the large group we had. Only complaint i had was that they forgot my mash potatoes, in their defense I did not realize this until about 10:30pm, while out having a drink. How stupid of me :) I had the steak and shrimp with fries and what would have been mash potatoes. For the price of the steak i found it to be below average and half of it to be very chewy. I honestly think i just got a bad cut and really had nothing to do with cooking or prep. On the other hand the shrimp was almost to the point of awful. Chewy, bland and dry are just the short words that go with it. The garlic sauce was a big hit and helped, but shrimp of this nature should be excellent by itself. You might make note that a friend let me try their steak as well and it was quite good. I feel that this place has become overpriced and offers nothing special for it to be the steak place to go to. With restaurants on every block it's getting harder to set yourself apart. Back in the day Outback was the place that stood out for a decent steak and all around good food at a fair price. Times have slowly changed and i think they have taken a back seat to the steak restaurants. read more

Thanks Jared food was wonderful. Thanks for your 5 star service. You made our day. Will be ordering again soon.

um definitely thee WORST Outback at which I've ever eaten! Let's set the scene, busy... Friday or something, with my mom The waitress was nice, and it wasn't her fault that they undercooked my, "No blood, a little pink in the middle" Medium WELL prime rib, was medium RARE. Sooo, she came by like only 2 times, SUPER friendly of course. "How's the meal?" My prime rib was SWIMMING in a puddle of bloood. Ew. So I politely explained how this is NOT medium well. She's like "Oh, Srry oMG i'll recook it!" meanwhile both my mom's and my veggies taste like DIRT. She comes back.... still blooody. She takes it back AGAIN, this time, well done! She doesn't get the manager, she didn't offer dessert, she was an AIRHEAD. so piss poor service, I'm bein nice and saying she was a nice person. I'm from Irvine, and that's the BEST Outback, I can't wait to go back, and get treated RIGHT :] read more

We had my husbands birthday dinner here tonight. The food was excellent. The service was fantastic. We had such a great time. Going back for sure. Thank you OutbackSteakhouse. read more

LOL this place is a joke! Nothing but mediocre food. I ordered the mahi mahi with crab stuffing and the only thing I enjoyed eating was the incredibly small side of veggies it came with. The sauce that was smothered over the fish was FUNKY. And they don't have a lot of options for dessert! Never EVER going to outback again. read more

We tried outback again and was again disappointed by the lack luster food and service. Steak came out and was highly under cooked both *times*. Wife's salad was one of the worse collections of salad items on a plate. They at least replaced it with regular salad. My son, who has never meet a Mac-n-cheese plate he didn't like couldn't eat two bites of their concoction. I am not going to be visiting this roadside tourist trap ever again. On a positive note they could make the French fry and cheese appetizer. Then again French fries, cheese, and ranch dressing how hard is that. Sort of disappointed in this visit as you can read. The manager in the end did comp the steak which was uneatable and I didn't have a single bite of. I was happy to pay whatever the price to get out of this place read more

Sorry this is one place we will not be coming back too. What a shame it is within walking distance of our place but after having possibly the worst waiter ever I couldn't bear another try at it. When asked if there is Onions in something , I do not want to hear your guess. When asked to please find out and you still keep guessing you just ruined my night and your own tip. I will say that the restaurant was just as any other Out back and the food was fine. read more

On June 8th I entered at 11:15 and was seated. I saw only one couple seated. After being seated about 10 minutes a server asked if I had been served and I replied I had been seated but that was it. Long story short - after another long wait I got up and left. Very disappointing. I came in wearing a coat and tie and received no service. This is no way to treat a Dine Club member. read more

The steak was phenomenal and so was our service. Our server Kevin was on top of his job for sure. I will definitely be back next time I want a steak!!! read more

I go here at least one time a week. The food is always outstanding. I do have high expectations. This is a great place to eat in the area.

This is a great choice in Denton... I bit hidden from view this place is often less crowded even if it is a bit awkward to get to. Their food is reliably good and the place is clean and nice. I love the less crowded part... Drinks are good and service is usually terrific. I am not sure if they are open for lunch. read more

Had a reservation for 6:00. Arrived to be told it would be a 1 hour wait. What good is a reservation if you are not going to honor it? Terrible customer service! We will not be coming back. We will take our business to some place that appreciates it. read more

arrived at 2 pm on a Sunday Afternoon. 6 other tables occupied with some customers at the bar. 2 waitstaff between the 6 tables. it took 20+ mins for us to get our drink order bread and appetize. we had to ask our waitress to take our meal order. and when our food arrived almost an hour later, blooming chicken was extremely over salted, and brussel sprouts appeared to consist of the burnt leftovers from the lunch rush. while the rest of our meal was ok, this made for a very disappointing experience, let alone that at this price point, this quality of food/service is simply unacceptabl. read more

I really like Outback Steakhouse because I can get a small steak and two sides for $9.99. It's the perfect amount of food, and the steak is always cooked to order and juicy. I was visiting the Denton area when I went to this location, and it was your average Outback. We were greeted at the door and seated promptly. The waitress was a little talkative and seemed like she was trying too hard to get a high tip, but all-in-all it was a pleasant experience. read more

I would give 3.5 stars if I could. Let me break it down: My family and I shared a bloomin onion which was a 5. My brother had CFS which he said " best one I've ever eaten". So, another 5. My mother had filet and coconut lobster, which she liked to the tune of 4.5. My father and I both had the sirloin, which was the the worst steak I've ever eaten. My dad was a little kinder, but he's 88, has more years and bad steaks under his belt. I gave my sirloin a 1 and he gave his sirloin a 2. The baked potato, salad, bread and asparagus were 3- 4. Service was ok. Atmosphere was good. Cleanliness was good. I will try again. Will have a filet. Hope next time I can rate my meal a 4 or 5!!! read more

The only good thing about our dinner at Outback tonight was our waitress Madison. My wife's dinner was ribs and she said the meal was good. I ordered prime rib, it was a chunk of fat and grizzle. What was prime rib was cold. I ordered medium rare and it came out rare. Just wanted a nice meal on a rainy night. Never again, will never be back!! read more

We stopped going to outback a while ago but the last three times we revisited it has been great. We sat in the bar area and our server was excellent. I tried the bone in ribeye and my wife had the sirloin. She likes hers medium and I had medium rare and both were cooked to perfection. The blue cheese chopped salad is also awesome. They have upped their game in terms of food quality and service in my opinion. We intend to revisit often. read more
